A boring race? Really? That was one of the best ever, how can you have a boring race with 2 Jordan's and a Sauber on the podium.

Because until Schui hit Dc It was quite boring. A good chunk of the field failed to restart, Schui was something like a minute in front Then Even after that nothing much happened . The Jordans weren't allowed to race. Alesi admitted he wasn't going to fight for 2nd after the race so it was pretty much follow the leader.

Only 4 cars missed the restart and they were backmarkers anyway. Just off the top of my head...

The biggest accident in F1 historyHakkinen and Schumacher collided, Herbert then hit HakkinenDC and Wurz collidedJV crashedIrvine crashed twiceDC and Schumacher crashedFisi crashed into Nakano.Hill nearly hit TrulliSchumacher following Hill at the end and wondering if he would listen to team orders or try and overtake.

Okay Montoya did pass MS and then crash out against Verstappen. But little else happened.

Montoya looked set to win easily, then collided, Coulthard looked good for second that became first, but then suddenly rain came that allowed Schumacher to regain from his 2 stop strategy that didn't work, to the race lead, as Coulthard tiptoed round before he could strap on wet tyres. But then Schumacher, like in the dry, lacked pace in the wet for once (seemed to have crippling understeer), and Coulthard was able to catch and pass him pretty easily.

I don't remember it particularly fondly but it must have been very exciting if you were a Coulthard fan. This was back when Coulthard was actually half-decent.

Nick Heidfeld also picked up the first of his 89 podiums in this race.

Nah Brazil 2001 was a decent race.

No offence Eva09 but you seem to think any race Schumacher did badly was non eventful...? I can understand that but ust because he did badly doesn't mean it was a bad race.

When did I say it wasn't exciting? Or eventful?

My point was that it wasn't so exciting until it all kicked off. That is what *hitherto* means.

Most races aren't exciting until it kicks off. Sometimes that's half way round lap 1, sometimes that's half way round lap 52. You can't expect every lap to have some action of every race. That's just motorsport.

Some races like a lot of the modern ones (Indy 2012) are simply constant excitement. Or at least interest.

What I'm talking about is dull races that suddenly turned exciting. It is a legitimate concept.
